I'm guilty of liking a lot of the RoC figures too. Mostly the impact armor figs, and Storm Shadows.
I didn't hate the Turtle-Vipers, but I didn't love them either. Something about the way the knees and ankles were. This set was great. I liked the color scheme of the Turtle-Viper. The armor in black was very cool. It matches up well with the 25th black HISS, and the RoC MMS. |

When Dollar Tree got in the Terminator:Salvation figures I put the T-700 in the armor it fits really well, and I like the idea of it being in there to crawl out if the armor gets too damaged in battle.

I also use those Turtle Vipers to work with the RoC Night Adders as a security team.

The ROC "turtle" Vipers and ROC Elite Vipers made a pretty cool trooper when you LBC'd them together too.

I don't like the design of any of the various versions of this figure. The armor and helmet make them look like fleas.

I liked the Roc figures and vehicles for the most part! It was nice to get some new designs and I think ROC is why the POC and 30th figs got so much better!!!

Just happen to catch part of ROC on tv last night. I realized that I really do like the neo vipers in the movie, they looked like heavily armored badasses. Pretty good looking design if u look at the real ones, but it didn't translate well into toys. I semi-like the crimson ones and the blue Target ones, but not the rest. I really can't stand the legs and arms, and the helmet doesn't reflect the detail of the movie costume. I think if these were produced POC style, they'd be very cool and popular figures

I grabbed one of these while they had it...my Target gets cleaned out fast...if they ever get anything to begin with...they clearanced all their ROC leftovers, so I'm glad I didn't bother picking up regular Neo Vipers until they were like $3...ROC figures were decent, I just wish I could have found more than one pit commando...

When RoC was on every toy shelf I noticed a funny thing. IMO the RoC vehicle drivers were much better figures than the "actor accurate" single carded figures.
* RoC Vehicles and Drivers that I thought were better than the single carded figures: - The PIT came with the best version of RoC Hawk. (If your into Joe's that look like actors.....) - The Rhino came with Rampage. This was a perfect update to the vintage original. - The Snarler cycle came with Night force Beachhead. - The Mantis sub came with the Aqua Viper Officer. The AVO was an amazing update to the 25th version. (I bought six of these when they went to Marshel's just for the driver.) - The RoC Night Raven came with the Strato Viper Officer. Perfect for army builders. - The Snake Trax ATV came with a 25th Scrap Iron in IG colors. - The Steel Crusher came with the "Nitro Viper". We all know who the NV really was. I've seen more than a couple of custom's that have made this fig look exactly like the Vintage original. - The Target Dragonfish came with a nice repaint of Wet-suit. This repaint kind of reminded me of the vintage "mission to Brazil" set I had as a kid. - The Target Wave Crusher came with a repaint of the Eel. I've been using this version of the Eel as an Officer for my little army of 25th Eel's. - The Walmart Outpost Defender set came with a good repaint of the Resolute Roadblock. |
